In the novel Janus Equation, writer G. Spruill explored one of the harrowing problems with time travel. In this tale a brilliant mathematician whose goal is to discover the secret of time travel meets...
In conclusion, negative energy does exist, and if enough negative energy could somehow be collected, we could, in principle, create a wormhole machine or a warp drive engine, fulfilling some of the wi...
If we scan all the life-forms that have ever existed on the Earth, from microscopic bacteria to towering forests, lumbering dinosaurs, and enterprising humans, we find that more than 99.9 percent of t...
If we now take a Kaluza-Klein theory defined in 4+N dimensions and then curl up N dimensions, we will find that the equations split into two pieces. The first piece is Einstein's usual equations, whic...
If we can somehow control the probability of certain improbable events, then anything, including faster-than-light travel, and even time travel, is possible. Reaching the distant stars in seconds is h...
If time travel is possible, then where are the tourists from the future? –STEPHEN HAWKING
Historically, with each new scientific discovery, a new model of the brain has emerged. One of the earliest models of the brain was the homunculus, a little man who lived inside the brain and made all...
For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not believe, no explanation will suffice.
En algún momento debemos esperar que las máquinas tomen el control. ALAN TURING
Clearly, invisibility is a property that arises at the atomic level, via Maxwell's equations, and hence would be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate using ordinary means. To make Ha...
By the early twenty-second century, the technology for self-replicating robots should be perfected, and we may be able to entrust machines with the task of constructing solar arrays and laser batterie...
As in the movie The Matrix, we might one day be able to download memories and skills using computers.
And Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, said in 1943, I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.
Although we take this for granted, the cancellation of positive and negative charges is quite remarkable, and has been experimentally checked to 1 part in 1021. (Of course, there are local imbalances...

A careful analysis of the DNA within the mitochondria indicates that errors are indeed concentrated here. The hope is that one day scientists might use the cells' own repair mechanisms to reverse the...
¿Llegarán a superarnos los ordenadores en inteligencia? Ciertamente no hay nada en las leyes de la física que lo impida.
When a person tells a lie, he simultaneously has to know the truth, concoct the lie, and rapidly analyze the consistency of this lie with previously known facts.
